For 2012, the BOX Art Show & Sale is heading to fabulous Cambridge where it connects with this year’s charity partner Langs Community Health Centre.  Bill Davidson, ED of Langs, gave a brief and really great overview of all the good community work that Langs is doing.

Curator, Suzanne Luke is standing right at the edge of this tectonic plate.  Many thanks to Suzanne for letting us pull Dave’s painting off the wall guerrilla-style to support his talk to the sponsors.  And double thanks to her for helping us rehang and relevel it afterward.  You’re a champ, Suzanne!

Always thought of nik’s work as involving such thick application of paint, but lots of thin washes are involved too.

Swati…

rocked the floor.

BOX12 Sponsor Appreciation Night 291

Had a great catch-up chat with my friend Laura Richards (just over Kurt’s head here) who is also one of my fellow BlackBerry People at RIM.  Laura is part of the Community Investment Group and part of her work is running RIM’s awesome Proud2Be volunteer support program for charitable and NFP organizations.  It’s simple: you work at RIM, you volunteer 25+ hours with a recognized group, RIM donates $500 to that group… every calendar year.  This will be the third year that I leverage this great program to amplify my community volunteer efforts with cash-money.  Hey, BlackBerry People!  BOX would *love* to have you on board as a volunteer, so please reach out to BOX chief, Cathy Farwell, for opportunities to support this kick-ass gem in the creative ecosystem.

    You captured it Darin! What a great night. The artists made absolutely phenomenal presentations and I learned so much. It was wonderful to see all those people in one space engaged with the five artists, their ‘Methods and Mediums’.
    You have such an eye for the ‘main ingredients’ in an event, shared in such a way that we can all taste the flavour. Thanks DW….. again!
